a continuous flow of feelings and color, inspired by the beauty around us

touching God

by Carol Bass

quiet
cold
sunny day before Thanksgiving
a new baby, a new dog, an old dressing recipe
old men firing up a line of grills
near the Miracle Temple of the Apostolic Faith
sandpipers scooting over marsh mudlfats
an entire morning resetting passwords
recent hurricane waves rearranged the beach
hurling sand from ancient worlds right into our laps
mixing mysteries with plates as we arrange them over green placemats
our bodies bump around the table, lighting candles
through clouds of God
